Situated in the heart of Eddington, The Astronomer is tucked away underneath the Hyatt Centric Hotel - fronting colourful interiors that are filled with plants. The bright, airy venue is best known for its cocktails, regional draught beer and real ale, but they also cook up a pretty tasty brunch here as well - think full English breakfasts, smoked salmon on toasted sourdough, American-style pancakes and much more.
This cool, contemporary boozer in the city centre is an ideal location for brunch. The Petersfield rustles it up every Saturday, slinging out a range of different poached egg combos, as well as croque monsieur, bagels and a bunch of vegan options too.
If you're looking for a banging breakfast in Cambridge, The Waterman has that in spades. Offering contemporary boozer vibes, this joint is a cosy spot to tuck into eggs royale, shakshuka and American pancakes, with an excellent full vegan breakfast on the cards.
Established by culinary enthusiast Scott Holden, Scott's All Day is a friendly neighbourhood restaurant in the city centre. Honoured at the prestigious Pizza and Pasta Awards in 2023, you can expect everything from mushroom linguini to Neapolitan slices loaded with spicy pepperoni or vegan chorizo, as well as a number of tasty burgers. What's more, they serve up a cracking brunch here as well.
Offering up bottomless brunch come the weekends, The Cambridge Brew House is just the place to head if craft beer would help wash your meal down. Why? These guys whip up your pints in-house, thanks to being the only brew pub in town.
With a dedicated menu boasting sweet potato pancakes, vegan breakfasts and French toast alongside punchy bloody marys, Aperol sips and espresso martinis, The Old Bicycle Shop is a no-brainer if you're looking for a boozy brunch in Cambridge.
